According to Livestream, only ~4000 people are listening?

After a year hiatus and keeping in mind most people do not listen live (I almost always had work tuesday nights previously), that sounds reasonable.

I was really close to calling when the initial callers at the start of the show were all awful, but I had nothing to talk about and above all else that is the mark of a bad caller and that's not a thing I'm willing to be.

Squarespace ads were kind of inevitable but I guess part of me was still hoping the Best Show could pay the bills by advertising awesome box sets or something. Oh well.

Listen, if the Bombcast is any indication Tom could potentially have the best podcast commercials out there.

I'm bummed Laurie never called back after the ban. Or at least on a regular basis, but I don't think she's called at all. She always had a good dynamic with Tom.

I don't keep up with Seven Second Delay as much as I used to but she used to call that show all the time too and I haven't heard her on that one either.

Tom and PFT used to be good friends - Tompkins was even in studio for some of the shows most famous bits. Then one day Tom started making veiled references about some kind of backstabbing false friend and Tompkins completely vanished from the Best Shows orbit, and that was that.

Nobody really knows any more than that.

This was also around the time they were both working on a pilot for adult swim that never got picked up, i imagine that'd be a pretty good catalyst.

Oh christ, Wurster's gonna be on the next Steven Universe.

I wanted this, but I don't know that I'm ready for it.

Also all of Wurster's characters are so wildly inappropriate for children, I have no idea what to expect.

Last night's Steven Universe was completely Tom-centric and also featured the voice acting talents of one Mr. Jon Wurster in a big supporting role. So it's pretty much a must watch.

Uh, yeah, speaking of that. I made a bit of a modification to my Best Show poster I got as a marathon premium a few years back.

Julie Klausner reminds me of Laurie in the sense that she isn't really that entertaining on her own, but she really amps Tom up to be extra funny so I always look forward to her. I wonder what ever happened to Laurie.

Edit: actually I felt the same way about PFT. He was probably the best of anyone in that regard, but I usually didn't find him all that funny.

She also stopped calling into 7 Second Delay around the same time as the Regular Caller Ban, iirc.
